FLAGS AND RIBBONS,
When the train finally drew into TIE
depot and the Presidential Ca YVES
brought abreast of the temporary plat
form, on which G5e President was 70

with the national coIOrs, eveTgreeHs, etc,
some of tine designs being unique IS well
as tasteful. On Wisconsin street oppo-
site the club rooms, the Juneau CHM, an

IhOuse the honOred guests and the recep-

, took their places on the tastafuliy dec
Grated platform that has been there

that participated in the psrade then
, passed in review, after which tHaYOr Wal
Der arose and welcomed the President and
his wife to the fair city Of Milwaukee, and
introduced the nation'S ruler. President
Cleveland spoke as follows:
~ am very glad to have an opportuni-
", though the time SliO Wed is very bTief,
TO meet The people Of Wiscousin's chief
city. Since we left home, il passing
; through the different states on orr way,
there mas been presented 90 us a VARIETY
p of physical features Characteristic Of the
diversity Of soil. But the people we have
met at eli points

favored spot the world contains. This
condition creates an aggregate OF senti-
